The Nex 3/5, the small m4/3 cams from Oly and Panny, the Nikon 1, the Q from Pentax, the premium compacts from various manufacturers?

They're all point-and-shoots in disguise. They sell in mass quantities, the majority of the buyers never purchase an additional lenses or accessories.

Your casual photographer may now have a more capable camera with interchangeable lenses (and they may not even know it!) but the point-and-shoot mentality does not change.

The definition of a point-and-shoot should be more dynamic to reflect the current state of the (lower end) camera market.

If 499 out of 500 people use a Nikon D3100 as a point-and-shoot then I call Nikon D3100 a point-and-shoot. I redefine product category based on shooting style. That's my new 2014 way of thinking. Catch up :)

This camera being featured on the front page of this site is the most sad thing of all. The Photokina week is supposed to be fun and exicting while this camera is the exact opposite. It may appeal to the people who are still stuck with Canon lenses and the "small sensor in a big body" mentality but I bet these people are no longer the majority on this site.

If the original image as stored on the memory card - after the monkey pressed the shutter - belongs to no one then Slater was free to edit the image and publish his version. His published version is his original work and he absolutely has the right to demand that Wikipedia takes it down.
